Top Speed: 35.32 km/h

The Dutch youngster joined Fulham from Manchester United at the start of last season in a season-long loan but failed to gain regular football at the club due to various reasons. His season ended with a Cruciate Ligament injury, which required surgery and the player returned to United at the end of his loan spell.

Fosu-Mensah could manage just 12 appearances for Fulham in the Premier League, where he mostly appeared as a right back. Even though he failed to hold on to a place in the starting eleven, there was one aspect of his game which certainly caught his eye.

Fosu-Mensah has the pace to burn and last season, he was the fastest footballer in the Premier League. The Dutchman clocked a top speed of 35.32 km/h, which is significantly more than the rest of the competition.

With United desperately in need of a new right back, Solskjaer could be tempted to keep the fastest player in the league as a backup option ahead of the new season. And with time, Timothy Fosu-Mensah might finally justify his talent as well.
